Cook Children’s lives up to its Promise by combining the art of caring with integrity-led, interdisciplinary collaboration, a commitment to evidence-based practice, the highest levels of safety and security, leading clinical research, state-of-the-art technology, effective financial stewardship and the re-investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in community benefits.
At Cook Children’s, it’s not just about the bottom line. It’s about keeping our Promise.

That is why our team continues to work collaboratively with our community partners to address identified pediatric health needs in our area.
